Abstract

Marfan syndrome(MFS) is a connective tissue disorder that affects multiple organ systems. Cardiovascular, ocular, and skeletal abnormalities are cardinal features of the syndrome. Its incidence is among the highest of any heritable disorder.Most patients who have Marfan syndrome are usually diagnosed incidentally when they present for a routine physical examination for various reasons. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the literature, as well as describe a 22-year-old male with MFS and right hydroureteronephrosis diagnosed incidentally when he attended our hospital for complaints of fever and right loin pain. This case report emphasizes importance of “Revised Ghent criteria” for the diagnosis of MFS and highlights various clinical signs of MFS.

Abstract

In order to reduce maternal mortality in Central Java, this Province has a superior program which is called 5Ng (Jateng Gayeng Nginceng Wong Meteng/Central Java Glad to See Pregnant Women). Implementation of childbirth assistance in Semarang and Kendal districts in order to reduce maternal mortality has its own model. Based on the preliminary survey, the maternal mortality rate in Semarang and Kendal regencies has decreased. This research aimed to explain the implementation of delivery assistance by midwives in the framework of accelerating reduction in maternal mortality. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive analytical specifications. Research subjects were midwives in Semarang and Kendal Regencies. Data collection method was conducted by direct in-depth interview. Normal childbirth assistance in Semarang Regency is carried out at the Midwife Independent Practice, Village midwife practice, at the village public health center and public health center with delivery assistance of at least four hands (two midwives). In Kendal Regency normal delivery assistance is performed at first health facility.

Abstract

Mental Retardation is a condition in which the intelegency function is under average, which began during the developmental period. Children with mentally retarded have limited mental function, communication skills, ability to maintain themselves and social skills. These conditions impact the mothes’s they responsible to train children’s ability to be independent. The purpose of this study is to explore the mothers’ experience having children with mental retardation at Special School for mentally retarded (SLB) of Karya Ibu Palembang, Indonesia. This is a qualitative research with fenomenology approach from five partisipants with indept interview. Five themes were get including can’t accept reality, burden, the social stigma,need support from relatives, worry about the future, and admitting God’s will. The Adaptation behaviors found in this study are the acceptance of children’s condition, and loving the children thoroughly.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) among immigrants has substantial contribution to the TB epidemiology in Sabah. This study aimed to determine the yield of screening for TB disease among immigrant plantation workers in Sabah, Malaysia. This was a prospective cohort study involving 482 legal immigrant workers aged 18 years and above, consented and available at study sites during the study period. Workers with previous history of TB or currently on TB treatment were excluded from participation. Symptom based questionnaire was administered along with both chest radiograph and sputum samples collection for symptomatics participants. Out of 482 plantation workers creened, there was no case of active TB detected among the 44 (9.1%) symptomatics participants. Finding of low TB yield in this study was rather unexpected but this indicates the real challenges for the local health authority to come out with more cost effective screening programs, including reducing stigma, in active TB screening among migrant population.

Abstract

Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder. Epilepsy seizures are the result of the transient and unexpected electrical disturbance of the brain. About 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, and nearly two out of every three new cases are discovered in developing countries. Epilepsy is more likely to occur in young children or people over the age of 65 years; however, it can occur at any age. The detection of epilepsy is possible by analyzing EEG signals. This paper, presents a hybrid technique to classification EEG signals for identification of epilepsy seizure. Proposed system is combination of multi-wavelet transform and artificial neural network. Approximate Entropy algorithm is enhanced (called as Improved Approximate Entropy: IApE) to measure irregularities present in the EEG signals. The proposed technique is implemented, tested and compared with existing method, based on performance indices such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy parameters. EEG signals are classified as normal and epilepsy seizures with an accuracy of ~90%.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i1.1836

Abstract

Studies in a number of countries have shown that wherever inappropraite waste disposal morbidity and mortality rates are high. Although latrine coverage is an important indicator for measuring success of the health service program; data on latrine coverage scarce in the study area. Objective: To investigate latrine coverage and associated factors in among households of Debretabor town, Amhara region, Ethiopia. Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted in Debretabor town from September 1-30, 2013. A total of 422 households were included in the study using systematic sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 16.0. Degree of association between independent and dependent variables was assessed with a 95% confidence level and p-value less than 0.05 was used to detect statistical significance. Result: In this study. Ninety three point five percent of households have latrine. Graduated as model family was predictor for availability of latrine (AOR= 3.18,). Income and house ownership were also found to be predictors for availability of latrine (AOR=3.70), (AOR=8.46), respectively. Educational status of respondents was found to be predictors for availability of latrine (AOR= 2.65). Conclusion:  latrine coverage was relatively lower from the national target of 100%, still there are households that use open defication. Educational status, house owner shipe, income and graduated as model family were main factors affecting latrine availability. Improving socio economic status of households, provision of continuous advice and technical support at household level on the availability of latrine are recommended.

Abstract

Although both the electronic health record (EHR) and the electronic medical record (EMR) store an individual’s computerized health information and the terminologies are often used interchangeably, there are some differences between them. Three primary approaches in Automated Identification Technology (AIT) are barcoding, radio frequency identification (RFID), and biometrics. In this paper, technology intelligence, progress, limitations, and challenges of EHR/EMR are introduced. The applications and challenges of barcoding, RFID, and biometrics in EHR/EMR are presented respectively.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i3.3300
